RIP Bowery Boy Buddy Gorman

This forum is nearly identical to the previous forum. The difference? Discussions about comedy from the SOUND era.

RIP Bowery Boy Buddy Gorman

Postby Brent Walker » Wed Apr 07, 2010 8:24 pm

RIP Charles "Buddy" Gorman--last of the "major" Bowery Boys (i.e. who appeared in more than 2 or 3 films). He replaced Bennie Bartlett as Butch for seven films in 1950-51, having earlier been an Eastside Kid in 1943-1945 (Skinny, Stinkie, Shorty, Danny and Sammy), and a Bowery Boys supporting player (usually as copy boys and news boys) in 1946-1949).
